We will start in Lake Oswego and almost immediately start climbing up the Tryon Creek Path but instead of taking the path the whole way we will work our way into Dunthorpe and meander through there up to Lewis and Clark college. Next the route takes us down the Riverview Cemetery hill across the Sellwood Bridge and onto the Springwater headed towards Milwaukie and the Trolley Trail. The Trolley Trail takes us to Oregon City where we will cross the Willamette River on the old Oregon City Bridge. Please note when I ride the bridge this direction I take the sidewalk as it is an incline. Once in West Linn we will meander though the neighborhoods in order to stay off Highway 43 as much as possible. This route will take us through Mary S. Young Park and after a brief 1/4 mile on 43 onto Old River Drive which will take us back to Lake Oswego.
After the ride if anyone is interested in having a bite to eat or a coffee the church of St Honore will be open.
